By 2020, Vietnam will launch 3 more satellites into space

In early 2019, Vietnam successfully launched the 6th satellite MicroDragon. By 2022, Vietnam will launch 3 more satellites, NanoDragon, LOTUSat-1 and LOTUSat-2. In it, LOTUSat-1 and LOTUSat-2 are the first radar satellites in Vietnam with the cooperation of experts from Japan. By 2019, Vietnam has successfully launched 6 satellites into space.

International Conference on Satellite Information under the theme 'Advances in Satellite Technology' held in Hanoi on June 28, 2019, Mr. Nguyen Huy Cuong, representative of the Radio Frequency Department, said. , by the end of 2018, Vietnam has 5 active satellites namely VINASAT-1 and VINASAT-2, VNREDSat-1, F-1, and PicoDragon. Of these, VINASAT-1 and VINASAT-2 are information communication satellites, while other satellites are responsible for ground data survey and scientific research.

By 2019, Vietnam has successfully launched 6 satellites into space.

According to Cuong, satellite technology plays an important role in developing civilized society, successfully launching satellite beams is a great opportunity, but also brings many challenges for Vietnam. Accordingly, one of the issues raised in the management of the satellite industry, the licensing of services as well as the fair access between land mobile communication systems and satellites in the use of frequency resources.

'Telecom operators have paid a lot of money to get a license to use frequencies. However, satellite operators do not have to pay for the use of this resource, ' Cuong said.

Another problem is how to ensure the security of information when users connect to the Internet directly via satellite also need to be carefully considered. The coordination of satellites and the calculation of interference between non-static and geostationary systems is also a complex issue that Vietnam is seeking to solve.

These are legal issues that Vietnam needs to find out, because thousands of satellites will be launched into space by global technology companies in the next few years.

Mr. Bashir Patel, Regional Senior Advisor of Global Satellite Alliance (GSC) said that the global space economy is currently valued at US $ 339.1 billion, of which satellite services account for 127, 7 billion USD, ground equipment accounted for 113.4 billion USD, .

The world is aiming to expand the benefits of technology development for the whole society, so the digital, educational, health and social gap between geographic regions and the economy will be narrowed thanks to satellite solutions.
